Preparing for the Foundation Work

The day is fast approaching...Monday is when we are scheduled for the foundation work to start on our house. Today while Trent and I were at work, the utility people came and marked where the utility lines are in the yard.

Please excuse our dead grass. We had a legit drought this summer.

Here are some "Before" pictures of the foundation. This side of the house is the side that we're getting fixed. You can see where it looks like it's crumbling and falling in.

It's kind of a mess, to say the least.

This picture really shows where it's cracked and falling apart, and how the insulation is seeping through:

But you might say this one looks even worse....

I can't believe the day is almost here! I'm both excited and nervous for it to be done. And I have so many questions before they start. Like what we need to do to prepare, etc. I will keep updating throughout the whole process. It should hopefully only take a few days. After it's done, if all goes well, we should have a much safer and more level house! And we'll be able to finish the hallway and redo all the rooms on that side of the house - the kitchen, back room, and laundry room...not all at once, though. :)

The Girl Behind the Blog...

Welcome!

Hi everyone! I'm Whitney. I'm just a twenty-something who loves decorating and all things home, design, and creative. My husband Trent and I inherited his parents' century-old home in 2010, and we have been working hard to fix it up ever since. We are always in the middle of a renovation project! I hope you enjoy this little diary of our house progress and the story of our life along the way.
